Medal of Honor: Warfighter stage co-created by Need For Speed team

Medal of Honor: Warfighter features a driving mission that was developed alongside Need for Speed team members, it has been revealed.

Titled 'Hot Pursuit', the mission is a first-person car chase as a suspect drives recklessly through Karachi, Pakistan, racing from the docks through to city streets, the Empress Market and ultimately the city slums.

"The level itself was inspired by conversations with the Tier 1 consultants, and they talk all the time about observing, being in a car and the chases they get in, focusing on guys and getting the most intel they can," he told Digital Spy.

"That is a big part of what they do, so it was important we try and integrate that into the game.

"When we decided to do it, obviously the best choice is to talk to the Need for Speed guys and get them involved. We worked very closely with them to work on those levels.

"They actually spent a lot of time with it in-house, and worked very tightly with them to refine the feature-set to make sure the driving itself was really tight.

"We tried to create an experience that feels like you're playing a Need for Speed [game] but in the Medal of Honor universe. You've got the storyline all coming together in this really exciting driving level.

"There's a bunch of different components they worked on there, and we were really pleased to work with them."

Jones also hinted that more driving sections would be present elsewhere in the game, and that he was "pretty sure" that the name 'Hot Pursuit' was a nod to the Need for Speed series.
